Product Details
There is an old Celtic custom that bees must be told of changes in the households of their keepers. The bees might leave or stop producing if they’re not kept in the loop! I was inspired to design this shawl by “Go Tell the Bees I am Gone,” the title of the upcoming book in the Outlander series.
These crescent shawls begin with a cable cast on at the lower edge and feature a honeybee stitch motif and honeycomb-inspired lace edging. (Why a cable cast on? So you don’t run out of tail with a 350+ stitch long tail cast on!) The crescent is shaped with simple short rows. No wrapping at the turns is required.
The shawls make gradient yarns shine, and are also lovely in semi-solid colors. Knit in fingering weight yarn, you may choose either 430 yards for a shawlette, or 645 yards for a larger shawl.
